The Fox headline is 'Dems sneak radical gun grab into defense bill'.
Yeah it's Fox.
Still, it shows the anti-gun folk are still out there.

I'm no lawyer but I suspect it's easier to put restrictions on folks in the military than on regular civilians. Although the guest speaker says military folk have more rights under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) than civilians do in civilian courts.

As an aside does anyone remember a law that says if you're involved in domestic violence you can't have access to firearms and what that means to the military? Heck, I could see a lot of loving spouses (I ALMOST said wives) filing domestic abuse charges against their spouses to keep them out of combat...now THAT'S a firearms loophole.
